Dante card2011/06/11 at 12:19 pm #28566So apart from my new project recording the swampiest and dullest tones south of the delta, I’ve also been testing the Dante card…
So far I’m happy to report totally hassle free recording – I left the machine running last night & tracked 32 tracks in (a dozen mike lines with the gain wide open, a stereo iPod track, and a bunch of empty channels to see if I had any of the clicks and pops mentioned by others) with Reaper 64bit v3.76 to an external RAID1 enclosure via eSATA and it didn’t miss a trick.
I’ll have to go through and detail my exact specs so anyone with issues can try and get these same settings to work, but at the moment I’m feeling pretty confident in the card’s performance!iDR32 mixrack

Dante cardUPDATE: I recorded 32 tracks into Reaper for 3 solid hours on the weekend at a show & it didn’t skip a beat (except for when the whole venue’s power went out for 5 minutes…. bloody fridges and bain maries!!! Even then it found the DVC straight away and went back to recording without breaking a sweat once the power to the rack was restored)… I’m increasingly impressed with this card!!!
2011/06/18 at 6:29 am #28605Hey Biggsounds, please send through your settings when you can, it would be very handy. I am having trouble with my Dante recording. I am recording 32 channels to a quad core XP32bit desktop with reaper. I rebuilt the machine from scratch and did all the usual tweaks. I am going direct to Dante (no switch). I don’t get peaks of over 700 on the latency checker so I am reasonably confident that the PC is in good shape (it’s faster then my studio PC and I do twice as many tracks with that setup). The issue I am having is random clicks and pops on the all the channels. It doesn’t seems rythmical but I do notice a strange thing happening. Every 3 or 4 pops, two channel pop at exactly the same time. I have checked that I am recording in 48k 24bit and the iLive 32 is the master. I’m really happy with it (Dante) but I’m keen to get rid of the spikes. I may try to update the network drivers and see if that helps. Any clues anyone. Has everyone else got it working. It seems to have gone quiet on the topic.

Desktop FOH BCF20002011/06/18 at 9:53 am #28606Still seems like it is a sample rate mismatch. Check in the DVC if it is syncing correctly with the network.
It’s not enough if all uses the same sample rate settings it has to be synced…SRV-AVB

Dante card2011/06/20 at 7:02 am #28614Ok, I’ve reinstalled Dante Controller & Virtual Soundcard. Now Dante Controller sees the iDR Dante module. But, I’m still having clocking issues! My iDR48 is my master clock. My bit rate setting seem to be right in Dante Virtual SoundCard, Dante Controller, and my recording software. I.E-
48khz
24bit
4ms Latency
48×48 setting
EthernetPort w/1GB transfer rate.
Uni-body Macbook Pro w/ Solid State Drive, 2.4Ghz Dual Core, 8GB Ram, running Presonus StudioOne software.But I’m still getting “Pops” every few seconds on almost every channel. I’ve reinstalled software 3 times. What am I missing here???? Somebody help me out. Thanks.

Dante card2011/06/22 at 10:28 am #28630Ok, I’ve spoken with Dante support extensively. I’ve also exhausted all posible options. Including-
Try’d adjusting Dante Virtual Soundcard settings- I.E- Latency & Channel Count
Try’d a different computer-
Sony Vaio
2.4GHZ Dual Core
4GB Ram
Gbit Ethernet Port
Solid State External Drive
Installed Dante Virtual Soundcard, and ControllerTry’d different recording software all configured at 48k 24bit with Dante selected as the ASIO-
Logic
Pro Tools 9
Presonus Studio OneTry’d installing the Dante card in an completely different iLive system, and repeating process on both computers (MAC & PC)-
iDR-16
iLive R-72“Pops” still continue on just about every channel. Audinate assures me that it is not a clocking issue (I don’t see how it could be anyways). I’m pretty sure that I’ve just got a bad M-Dante Card. [
] I’ll reply to this when a solution comes up. I want to document all this for anyone else’s future issues…….What are forums for, right?

R-72/iDR32/iPS10Um, I definitely switched ethernet cables before switching computers, ilive systems, harddrives, etc. The chances of 4, pre-built, ethernet cables (that I tested with a Cat5E tester) being bad is slim to none.
